The 70th anniversary since the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was liberated takes place Tuesday, and coinciding with that is the release of this incredible footage.
Thousands of tourists, and survivors, visit the camp in Poland which is now a World Heritage Site.
During World War II, Auschwitz was the largest Nazi established camp, with more that a million people dying there, most of them Jews, between 1940 and 1945.
Starting at the railway tracks the drone takes us through the entrance where you see the sign ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ – “Work sets you free”.
Birkenau, which was erected in 1941 as a death camp, can be seen now in ruins with only the brick fireplaces and chimneys remaining. Haunting.
